Authorities in La Plata, Argentina, have arrested three individuals—Francisco Alberto Vila Basualdo, Eugenia Martínez, and Milena del Sol Dell’Aqua—in connection with a large-scale real estate fraud scheme. An international arrest warrant has been issued for a fourth suspect, Nadia Antonella Lima.

The investigation involves the sale of residential lots within the Sophenia and Garden developments. Prosecutors allege the suspects sold undivided interests in large land parcels while falsely representing them to buyers as individual, buildable residential lots that would eventually receive formal title deeds. Martínez also faces charges regarding the use of a false public document.
